    This is the best way to make a comeback! Britney Spears has written another pop bible, since Blackout, she hasn't made an album like this, it's so enjoyable and likable that you're gonna have it in your repeat. 10/10

    En lo persona es uno de los mejores album que puede tener Britney, son ritmos diferentes, esencia que se ha perdido con el tiempo pero que retomó con fuerzas. En lo persona está al nivel de In the zone, incluso siento que esto ha traído una era que Britney, los antis y los mismos medios hicieron que se esfumara luego de su época oscura.

    Este álbum é a prova definitiva de que Britney Spears pode fazer sim um trabalho de muita qualidade, onde sua voz é valorizada e seu conteúdo é puro ouro pop

Glory é um álbum à frente se seu tempo, traz vocais e instrumentais bem trabalhados.

    This may quite well be Britney's best offering since perhaps 2003's "In The Zone". Her unique vocal style, nostalgic of the "Oops!" and "I'm A Slave 4 U" days, is clearly front-and-center throughout the album. And yet, every song is produced to a contemporary perfection that sounds very 2016.

Her unique vocal style, nostalgic of the "Oops!" and "I'm A Slave 4 U" days, is clearly front-and-center throughout the album. And yet, every song is produced to a contemporary perfection that sounds very 2016. Spears even dabs with foreign languages, "Coupure Électrique" being completely in French and "Change Your Mind (No Seas Cortés)" with a Spanish line here and there. The material makes sure to leave you with great lyrics ("Man On The Moon"), catchy melodies ("Liar"), crisp modern beats ("Do You Wanna Come Over?") and Spears' mystique. As far as pop music goes, this is the best it gets.

    Her best album since the Blackout and In The Zone, she is always innovating and we can see this album. This is certainly the best pop album 2016. SHE REALLY DID THAT!

    I'm really surprised by Britney's work on this album, wasn't expecting all the experimental sounds that goes perfect with her voice that she is actually using now, her fans have been asking for something like this and finally it seems like she did it, sex is obviously the motor of this album and i'm not complaining, we can hear a more mature Britney, from beginning to end a great album,I'm really surprised by Britney's work on this album, wasn't expecting all the experimental sounds that goes perfect with her voice that she is actually using now, her fans have been asking for something like this and finally it seems like she did it, sex is obviously the motor of this album and i'm not complaining, we can hear a more mature Britney, from beginning to end a great album, highly recommended.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This album is decidedly my favourite album from Britney out of all 9 albums. This spot used to be In The Zone, but Glory has overtaken it. I was totally taken aback and had chills all over my body when the opening track 'Invitation' started. Songs like 'Just Luv Me', 'Man On The Moon', 'Slumber Party' and 'Just Like Me' continued to give me that chilling sensation. I would call Glory her most romantic record up to date. Her voice is so emotive and special, on top of that slick ambient production. The use of guitar riffs in many of the songs are quite ear-candy. The whole album felt very cohesive and mature, with definitely
    her best lyrics up to date. Furthermore, Britney challenged herself vocally on songs like 'Private Show' and 'What You Need' which really shocked me and brought such joy to my listening experience. This will be a highlight of her career! I realy have to mention 'Man On The Moon' as my favourite track because it brought tears to my eyes. There is something heartbreakingly sad about the song and just so romantic!    … Expand

    Glory is undoubtedly Britney's best album since Blackout. It is a HUGE improvement on Britney Jean. This time around, the songs sound more like what Britney wants...and it works! Glory is absolute magic!

    Britney Spears just released what could be the best album of 2016.
    Her last effort Britney Jean didn't convince anyone but Glory is shaping up to be her best album since at least 2007. She is not trying to appeal to anyone but the diversity is impressive. Every song is unique and memorable.

The other pop singers like Lady Gaga, Beyoncé or Ariana Grande will definitely take some inspiration from Britney's new album, Glory. Oops...! She did it again.    … Expand

    An incredible album that should be savored, appreciated. You need to feel what each letter means. Is perfect. Britney Spears did an amazing job.

    I am very happy as a fan, to see that she struggled really. This is very rewarding.

    Without a doubt, the best album of Britney Spears' career, in which the Princess of Pop bets on new sonorities, stepping on a terrreno fleeing the pop mainstream, but who can captivate everyone. Deserves Album Grammy Awards the year without a doubt!

    Without a doubt the best pop record released this year. The album is extremely cohesive yet each track has its own unique flare and power.

Not only is it a wonderful pop record, it's a pop record with substance. It's a pop record that's distinctly Britney in a very good way. This album will definitely remain one of the best releases of the year and the best pop release this year.

    At last Britney recorded a gorgeous album. It reminds me of a mix of In the Zone and Blackout, but with more modern rhythms and sounds.

    Invitation - it is invitation to her Glory. It is very smooth and Britney's vocals are as an angel's.
    Private Show - a funky song, something new in Brtney's repertoire. Man on the Moon and Liar - as her old and good songs from the first two albums. Slumber Party - reggae rhythms calling us to dance on the beach. Just Luv Me and Make Me - rnb songs a la Selena Gomez ;) Do you wanna come over? - uptempo and dark pop/dance track with characteristic chorus. Change Your Mind (No Seas Cortes) - Britney in latino version or Copoure Electrique - in French one.
    In general, this album is coherent and well prepared without any need of autotune like in Britney Jean album. Maybe, these songs are not catchy as in Femme Fatale or Circus albums, but we can hear mature Britney.

    To be frank, this album is for 10/10    … Expand

    Although it marks no significant shift in style--she’s still mining the same pop-R&B seam--it’s undoubtedly a better effort than its predecessor.

    Like Britney herself, Glory is a fascinating if flawed listen--while she remains very much a singles artist, this is her most successful record in a while, and still contains glimpses of why she remains so compelling, 18 years into her career.

    Glory is no masterpiece, but it’s a marked improvement on 2013’s ‘Britney Jean’, a messy attempt to merge thumping EDM tunes with supposedly reflective midtempo songs.
